MASS Meeting and TorchIigFlf
Procession.

At a.meetng Of the Democrats Of
Calcasieu parish, held at the Court
House on the evening Of Nov. 18th,
Hon. VIM. Meyer was called to the
chair and R. II. 0dom, ESQ, appointed
secretary. The object of the meeting
was for the purpose of calling mass
meeting Of the Democracy of Calca-
sieu parish for November 10Th, 1887,
and after due deliberation the same
was agreed to, and it was ordered
that Democratic speakers, irrespective
of person or factionAl differences, be
invited to speak on the occasion, and
the Secretary was authorized to ex-
tend the invitations. A committee Of
twelve on arrangements was appointed,
and everything so far points to one OF
the largest outpourings of Democrats
that was ever known in CalcasIeu
parish. See notice in another column,

Hard on Nichols.

No man can be recognized as a
Democrat who has failed to vote and
act with the party heretofore. "By
their fruits ye shall know them," is
the only true test
TIE above from the Colfax Chroni-
Gle, one of the rankest Reform journals
in the State, is certainly rather hard
on Gen. Nichols, when it will be re-
membered that the General WAS one
of the prime movers and led the re,
volt against the regular Democratic
nominee, Hon. Louis St. Martin, il
the Second Congressional District in
1884, by supporting Mr.. Carleton
Hunt, the independent candidate.

From OH the information obtainable
At the time Of this writing It appears
that Col, S. NJ Robertson was elected

rather small majority. As far as We
can learn the bulk of the voting for

done by the Nichols men.-Patriot

sUGARFowE, La, Nov. Q, 1887,


suGARTowE, La, Noy.p, 1887.
Editor Lake Charles Echo:
Political questions and political movements
are agitating the public mind just now, and
the question the most important to the peo-
pie is as to how, in the midst of the various
and conflicting opinions as to who shall be
the Democratic nominee for Governor, q
fair expression Of the peoples choice can be
reached. The only way In which q fair ex-
preston on the subject can be arrived a. z
for our Parish Democratic Committee to hold
primary elections under the auspices of the
Democratic party-Where none but Democrats
should be allowed to Yote--fOr delegates TO D
parish convention at a time appointed by
that committee, who are then and there TO
elect delegates to represent the parish In the
State Convention TO be held on the 10th of
January next. ] learn that majority OF the
parish committee are Nichols men and the
proposition is moOted TO hold q mass meet
Ing at Lake Charles to elect q delegation.
The most absurd, unfair and undem0cratie
idea ever conceived by any set of men except
by enesided and INSCRIPTIONS politicians and
demagogues. What voice would the people
have at mass meeting, away in one eide OF
the parish, where but few eould reach 1t, In
declaring who they desired should be the
standard bearer Of the Democratic party for
Governor? A few men at the Lake would
control the whole affair, In which the people

Emery delegation was sent 10 the State Coo
yentiOn, it would be without the authority Of
the time-bonored custom of the Democrats

1t matters not what may be the complexion
\ Of that committee, they are called upon Il

and II they declare In favor OF a McEner

for complaint.

Badly Mistaken.

We have Just found out how
the Louisiana Lottery became Demo,
cratic though it was born of Radical
parentage. McEnery made it Demo,
cratic by casting his deciding vote in
favor of it when he was President of
the Senate. Webster Tribune.
Very badly mistaken, Mr.. Tribune.
You've got your data mixed up. The
Louisiana Lottery Company bought its
position (if it has any, IN the Demo,
cratic party of this State in 1867
when Charley Howard let Governor
Nichols have money enough to buy
out the Packard Legislature. It's I
q Nichols convert, Mr.. Tribune, and
the General should have all the praisC
for its conversion.

A sample Of Reform DemOCa
rRCy.

The Opelousas Courier says: As
a sample of "Reform" Democracy in
this parish, we might cite the fact
that the Mallett precinct, which sent
six delegates to the parish convention
lately called by the LitteII executive
Democratic committee for choosing
delegates the district Democratic con
vention lately held at Baton Rouge,
gave only two votes for Robertson
and 100 for Yoist, while those in
Acadia did no better, as the following
dispatch from Rayue shows; The
"Rcformers" showed their hand here
to perfection, and could be seen going
around getting their friends to stay
away from the polls. AS the farmers
came in the "Reformers" would meet
them and urge them not to vote.

looking for the Hpert.


The Northwestern Latn16erman of
the 9Th instant, says: at is not IN
usual nowadays to hear Southern
manufacturers elamor for the best.
Mark Wiess, of the Reliance Lumber
Company, Beaumont, Texas, was one
of the several operators who called at
this Office on Friday last, and his mis-
sion was one that must cheer the heart
of man who keeps an eye on the
lumber industry. Mr.. Wiess had been
ont West selling lumber at good
rate of speed, but it CALLED him that
he could not furnish much of that for
which there was the most csll-quarter
sawed yellow pine flooring. He re-
solved not to be called on in vain for
this product in the future if he could
possibly prevent it, and one of the OBJ
jects of his visit to Chicago was to
arrange for special machinery with
which to turn out quarter sawed floor
rag. Mr.. Wiess' head is decidedly
level. Bastard yellow pine flooring Is
a very mean kind indeed, and no SEN
sible man would have it in building
unless for a floor that would be car
peted. Any effort to more rapidly
quarter saw flooring than is now in
vogue will, if successful, prove profit

Our Reform contemporary, the
Commercial, in its last issue, produced
on its editorial page, a choice mOrceau,
under the caption of "McBnery Con
fesses, but Does Not Repent" that
would have sounded better If it had
come from a Republican organ. The
Commercials article, from beginning
to end, shows plainly that the writer's
aim was not to establish facts, but to
traduce and malign a Democratic
administration. The charges made
against the Governor by the CONNER
cial arc 80 ridiculous that we do not
think any sane person would for a
moment give them serious coasidera-
ton, and we challenge the Commercial
to prove wherein the Governor stands
self-confessed Of any crime against the
Democratic party of Louisiana, or how
and when did his friends admit ant
acknowledge the charge made by tn,
Reform press of exclusiveism and per
sonalism. The Commercial has mad,
; the assertion, now the EcHo calls 70
the proof.

First BLOOD for NIcEnery.

A SPECIAL of the Tth inst. from
Harrisonburg to the Daily States says:
'tThe Democrats of Catahoula parish
met on last Saturday to elect seven
delegates to tho convention which
meets at Baton Rouge next January
to nominate the Democratic candidate
for Governor. 1t was the largest mass
meeting ever held in Catahoula. The
administration voters were largely in
the majority, and the so-called IRE
form" movement had few followers
and not the slightest chance of elect
ing delegates. Seven McEnery dele
gates were elected by vote of ten to
one. 1t was avery harmonious meeting,
and a complete and sweeping McEnery
victory. Gov. McEnsry is gaming
strength in this section every day, and
it is conceded that other parishes will
follow the example set by Catalonia"

Gov. aRcEnery at Shreveport,

The old time Democratic loVe.feast
and mass-meeting held at Shreveport
on the Sd instant, was a grand affair,
and quite a contrast to the Nichols
meeting held there some time previous.
On the Sd there was an immense out
pouring of the people, and GOV. Nc
Emery was received with the utmost
enthusiasm and marks of respect. Two
meetings were held in the court house
squaro-one during the day and the
other at night. The square was full
of people in the day, and at night it is
estimated that there were over 1000
people present. Speeches were made
by Gov. McEnery, Hon. B. F. Jonas,
Senator j. B. Eustis, Major 3. A..
Burke, Hon. e. w. Sutherlin, Col. C..
n. Boatner, Mr.. A. J. Lafargue and
Judge w. A. Seay. The enthusiasm
which prevailed at this great Demo
cratic rally indicates pretty clearly
how Caddo andthe adjoining parishes
stand in the gubernatorial contest.
